Personal Injury Lawyers That Care

Once we have been retained, we will immediately begin gathering the evidence needed for a successful adjudication.  We will work with the insurance companies and highlight the strengths of your case.  Once your claim is filed in court, we will fight every step of the way to ensure you get the result you deserve.  While many cases settle, we will not hesitate to go to trial if the insurance company is unreasonable at the negotiation table.

Prescription

In most cases you have a limited time to file your case.  The prescriptive period for most injuries in Louisiana is one year from the date of the accident.  Thus, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.  If possible, take pictures after your accident, call your insurance company, and get insurance information from the other parties.  If possible, wait for an accident report; but if severely injured, seek medical treatment immediately.

    What Should I do After a Car Accident? 1. Stay at the scene: Never leave the scene of an accident, no matter how minor it seems.  2.

    Social Security Grid Rules: The Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Administrative Law Judges (ALJ) that decide social security disability cases at the hearing level frequently use a grid of the Medical-Vocational Rules to determine if a claimant is disabled or not.  If the “grid rules” indicate a finding of disabled, then it is referred to as “gridding out” and the analysis essentially stops in the claimant’s favor.  On the other hand, if the grids indicate a finding of [READ MORE]
